Well Zero, I think it means that you're faithful, persistent, and always get to the "bottom" of things...

My type was very accurate in many many ways. Creepily so, in fact. But there were a few characteristics that, either through choice or circumstance, are different now. I like my 10-12% group. Lol

Yeah, within each type there are sub-types. MB doesn't really delve into those much, but there are others that will break down the levels even further. As you go deeper, though, it seems to me like the tests really start requiring the person already know what their personality type is.

With non-introspective people especially, I would imagine that it would be pretty difficult to get consistent results at a more specific level than MB.

And I wish I was as normal as you!

As far as different matches go there are hierarchies for each individual match, roughly looking at the chart the order in which the matches appear correlated heavily to the favorability of the match.

Not all of the ''Good Matches" are equal. Some are better than others. The better ones appear first in order of precedence.

I realize pretty much just said the same thing twice but, I get criticized a lot for the way I explain things, so I'm trying to be clear.

In Jungian terms, "functions" refer to the four core traits: Intuition (N), Sensing (S), Feeling (F), and Thinking (T). The term "attitude" refers to the direction of the function, i.e. Introverted (I) or Extraverted (E).

So, for example, a person with a personality type of ISFP has a dominant function of Introverted Feeling. More specifically, Feeling in the dominant function, and its attitude (or direction) is Introverted. A person with this personality type is likely to be most attracted to, and fit best with, a person that has Extraverted Feeling dominating their personality. Extraverted Feeling dominates the personality types ESFJ and ENFJ. We therefore determine that the ISFP's natural partner is the ESFJ or the ENFJ.

Our natural attraction to people who share our dominant function, but who use it in a different direction works very well for us. We not only flip-flop the Introverted or Extraverted trait, but we also flip-flop the Judging or Perceiving trait. In this way, the partner that we choose for ourselves will have a very different approach to dealing with the world. If we are laid-back and indecisive, our partner will be structured and decisive. If we are reserved, our partner will be outgoing. For all of our apparent differences, we will share a common vision of what's truly important in life.

For people whose personality types are dominated by Decision Making functions, (i.e. Thinking or Feeling), their ideal partners will include both Sensing and Intuitive types. Many people have problems communicating effectively with people who do not share their same preference for Information Gathering. So, if you have a very strong preference for Sensing or Intuition, you will need to give the personality type with the same preference a higher value as a likely natural partner. For example, an ISFP who strongly prefers Sensing will work best with an ESFJ, rather than an ENFJ. -personalitypage.com

Well then this test is really accurate!! I was waiting for someone to tell me that BUTT is self-explanatory

[zeroturbulence]

OK honestly, I took this test once like last year and it said I should be a doctor and had the same personality as Clint Eastwood. No lie! I forget what the letters were though. Something like INTNJNTNINJFTKLS. If you pull up the old thread, its in there.

Seems to comfirm my feeling that relationships work better when those involved complement rather than mirror one another.

An elderly lady told me years ago that the key to a happy relationship is finding what she called "your split-a-part".

There is a lot of truth in that. My folks outside of mutual interests are very different in terms of personality. They complement each other perfectly for over 46 years now. Of course the opposition does tend to cause some strife from time to time.

But imagine how much more strife would ensue from nearly identical personalities, but differences of opinions. It's all about HOW they are different. Opposites attract for a reason. Once attracted, it all comes down to learning what differences there really are.

Man it's been too long since I've taken psych. I think there have been some studies on this phenomenon(outside of Jungian typing). I'll have to see what I can find later.

[Liamson]

Yeah having a good set of complimentary parts are good but, also having the same perspective in regards to coming to conclusions is important too.

The way people process information can be so incredibly different from person to person. The biggest difference between types is the N/S split. Which in compatibility terms can make communication and expression difficult.

[Catlynn]

Soooo who here is an ISFP? Haha it's a fun and insightful test. Thanks Liamson for posting.

And just because I'm part of a 10-12% doesn't mean I'm "normal" lol

I think it is important to understand, too, and, maybe this is the 'J'of my ENFJ type,but,yeah, it is important in all this p-testing stuff that God made us all unique and following His will for your life may be polar opposite of your type.
'''''-''''
Liam, correct me if I'm way ooff, but, and, yeah, this , perhaps, troubling bit of analysis can be blamed on my 'N' of my type, do you think:

E=outgoing
I=not going

N (intuitive) = Filling in the gaps of conversation
S (sensing) = Making sure the gaps are filled

F (feeling)= Feelings hurt easily but they understand how to understand that emotion
T (thinker)=Feelings not hurt easy but when they are hurt they are really hurt

J (judging)=Critical analysis is important to their make-up
P (perceiving)=Loose analysis of things

I did not go anywhere for expert personality 'letter' explanation , just seeked answers from my own green brain (now isn't that a scary thought) for what I perceived could be helpful understanding of their personality type except...the last one. Because...

Because because :
Oh, that just won't do will it, you need a reason why I couldn't come up with my own definitionof the last set of the Jung model don't ya? You're not judging me now are you?
Ok, I was not wanting to call myself tooo much of a judging person and I am not . I am just organized and deliberate and decisive and wanting order, NOT chaAossss, LOL. And, MOST of it is troooooo.God bless my sequential soul
T (thinker)=Feelings hurt too

This is weird...I've taken that same test two times. First it said I was an INFJ, and now it says I'm an ENFP (just slightly extraverted it said). Strangely, I think both descriptions fit me,both categories have traits that describe me very accurately.Maybe i change my questions depending on my mood? well at least those two fall into the same category: Idealist.

KayM , hi ,
Yes, ideally, we should be able to take Jung test and have same answer every time. But, for most, I doubt that true.
In a 4 question p-test I was ENTP.
In another test, I was ESTP . But, in the longest test I took, Jung test of liam's link , I was ENFP. = mentor.
